[ NNSquad ] Re: Got $55K to spare for ICANN?
An awful lot of "lawyer-vulture-speak' I'm afraid. Lets say xyz.company (small company in the US) has been around since 1973, and xyz.corp in Bangladesh, a billion dollar company wants, xyz.com, yet the smaller guy has been using it as a website for years. Is the small guy, who's only claim is he registered his company in 1973 at as a local county business, going to be stood up for? I think not. Not without him spending huge amounts to preserve his name. As I expect its "lawver-vulture-speak" for robbing the little guy all over again.
